About the Liberia Driver's License Written Examination Exam
The Liberia Driver's License Written Examination is the road-law and road-sign knowledge test that Title 38, the Vehicle and Traffic Law of the Liberian Code of Laws Revised, requires of driver licence applicants. Section 2.26 obliges the licensing authority to examine every applicant on eyesight, on the ability to read and understand highway signs regulating, warning and directing traffic, and on knowledge of the traffic laws of the Republic, and to require an actual demonstration of driving ability. Traffic in Liberia keeps to the right under section 10.20, and statutory speed limits are set in miles per hour by section 10.10: 15 m.p.h. in a school zone, 25 m.p.h. within the limits of any city, municipal district or commonwealth district, 35 m.p.h. in residential districts outside those boundaries, and 45 m.p.h. on the open highway, with 40 m.p.h. for motorcycles. The Ministry of Transport remains the policy and regulatory authority, while operational licensing and driver testing passed to Liberia Traffic Management Incorporated under a 25-year concession activated in 2025 and completed on 1 March 2026, and the Liberia National Police handle enforcement and now require a driving-school certificate from first-time applicants. This is independent Liberia driver-licence practice by OpenExamPrep: 100 four-option study questions drawn from Title 38 and from the sign material the licensing operator publishes, offered as a study aid rather than a replica of the official paper or of the in-vehicle driving test.
Exam sponsor: Ministry of Transport (MOT) as policy and regulatory authority; operational driver licensing and driver testing and certification delivered by Liberia Traffic Management Incorporated (LTMI) under concession, with enforcement and applicant testing and evaluation by the Liberia National Police (LNP). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.
Assessment
Licensing in Liberia has three parts. Title 38 section 2.26 requires an examination covering eyesight, the ability to read and understand highway signs, and knowledge of the traffic laws of the Republic, plus an actual demonstration of the applicant's ability to exercise ordinary and reasonable control of a motor vehicle. First-time applicants must present a certificate from a recognised driving school before the Liberia National Police testing and evaluation stage. Payment is settled against an official Liberia Revenue Authority bill, and the applicant is then enrolled biometrically and issued the licence. This bank of 100 four-option questions is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation: it can teach the road law, signs, hazards and vehicle standards the written part tests, but it cannot substitute for the eyesight test or the in-vehicle driving demonstration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the speed limits in Liberia?
Liberia sets its statutory speed limits in miles per hour, not kilometres per hour. Section 10.10(2) of Title 38 fixes 15 m.p.h. in a school zone, 25 m.p.h. within the limits of any city, municipal district or commonwealth district, 35 m.p.h. in residential districts outside those boundaries, and 45 m.p.h. on the open highway, with a lower ceiling of 40 m.p.h. for motorcycles. Section 10.10(1) adds a basic rule that overrides all of them: never drive faster than is reasonable and prudent for the conditions and the hazards present. The Liberia National Police have publicly confirmed 45 m.p.h. as the highest limit in the country.
What is the minimum age to get a driver's licence in Liberia?
Section 2.22 of Title 38 bars the issue of a licence to operate a motor vehicle to anyone under 16, and bars a chauffeur's licence or a licence to operate heavy vehicles to anyone under 18. An instruction permit may be applied for from age 15 under section 2.23; it lasts six months and may only be used with a licensed operator of at least one year's experience seated beside the permittee, with no other passengers in the vehicle. A heavy-vehicle licence additionally requires at least one year of prior driving experience under section 2.26(2).
Who administers driver licensing and driver testing in Liberia in 2026?
The Ministry of Transport is the policy, regulatory, compliance and enforcement authority. Operational driver licensing and driver testing and certification are delivered by Liberia Traffic Management Incorporated (LTMI) under a 25-year concession signed in September 2018 and ratified in December 2018, which the government activated in 2025; Ministry of Transport licensing operations closed and LTMI assumed full responsibility effective 1 March 2026. The Liberia National Police handle traffic enforcement and applicant testing and evaluation, and require every first-time applicant to present a certificate from a recognised driving school.
What is the legal alcohol limit for drivers in Liberia?
Title 38 does not set a per-se blood-alcohol limit. Section 10.90(1) makes it unlawful to operate a motor vehicle while the ability to do so is impaired by the consumption or use of alcohol or a narcotic drug, and section 10.91 then sets presumptions: 0.05 percent or less by weight presumes the driver was not impaired, more than 0.05 but less than 0.15 percent raises no presumption either way but may be weighed with other evidence, and 0.15 percent or more presumes impairment. Section 10.90(5) carries a fine of not more than $1,000 or imprisonment for not more than one year, and section 2.61(b) makes licence revocation mandatory on conviction.
Which side of the road do motorists drive on in Liberia?
Motorists drive on the right. Section 10.20 of Title 38 requires vehicles to be driven on the right half of every road of sufficient width, with only four exceptions: overtaking and passing a vehicle going the same way under the overtaking rules, passing pedestrians or obstructions on the right half, where the right half is closed for construction or repair, and on a roadway signposted for one-way traffic. Section 10.21 adds that vehicles meeting from opposite directions pass each other to the right. Overtaking is normally done on the left under section 10.22, and section 10.24 requires the overtaking vehicle to be back on the right before coming within 100 feet of an oncoming vehicle.
How many questions are on the Liberian written test, and what is the pass mark?
Neither figure is published. Title 38 section 2.26 states what the examination must cover — eyesight, the ability to read and understand highway signs regulating, warning and directing traffic, and knowledge of the traffic laws of the Republic — but fixes no item count, time limit or pass mark, and no official syllabus or topic weighting has been published. The public sample paper issued by Liberia Traffic Management runs to 45 items with three answer choices each. Treat that as a study sample rather than a specification.
May private vehicles in Liberia fit sirens or flashing lights?
No. Section 6.21(1) of Title 38 permits a siren, whistle or bell of a type approved by the Minister only on an authorised police, fire or other emergency or official vehicle, and only for use when responding to a fire alarm or other emergency call, in immediate pursuit of a suspected criminal, or on other emergency business. Section 6.21(2) states that no other vehicle shall be equipped with, and no person shall use on any other vehicle, any such device. Lights are covered separately: section 6.60(2) prohibits flashing lights on all vehicles except authorised emergency vehicles and turn indicators, and section 6.60(1) bars any other vehicle from displaying a red light visible from directly in front. The Ministry of Justice has issued a public press release enforcing section 6.21.
Do Liberian road signs follow the European or the North American pattern?
Liberia became a contracting party to the 1968 Vienna Conventions on Road Traffic and on Road Signs and Signals in 2005, but the signs actually taught to Liberian learner drivers follow the North American pattern. The sign study sheet published by the licensing operator shows an octagonal red STOP sign, an inverted red-and-white Yield sign, a red-circle-and-white-bar Do Not Enter sign, and yellow diamond warning signs for Curve, Signal Ahead, Intersection, Merge, Added Lane, Slippery When Wet and Begin Divided Roadway, together with a School Crossing sign being transitioned to fluorescent yellow-green. Section 10.76 of Title 38 adds that a stop sign must bear the word STOP in letters no less than six inches high in a contrasting colour, reflectorised or illuminated at night.
Is this practice bank the same as the official Liberian test?
No. This is independent Liberia driver-licence practice by OpenExamPrep. It holds 100 four-option multiple-choice questions written from Title 38 and from the sign material the licensing operator publishes. The official written paper has no published item count or pass mark and the operator's own sample uses three answer choices per item, so the format here is a study adaptation rather than a simulation. It also cannot stand in for the eyesight test or the in-vehicle driving demonstration that section 2.26 requires.
